Line for 1098-T shows ZERO after completing it

I would like to understand the following:

  • Enter relevant data into TT for 1098-T form in the section "Deductions & Credits"
  • Upon completion TT shows ZERO amount

Is this inference by TT valid? Why would it show the amount as ZERO for 1098-T but report the full amount of Coverdell ESA distribution.

 

Could I request an explanation.

 

Regards,

Ramesh
